lovely article from yussef, who understands that the loot is the trees not the forest…

new piece on me, on Marathon and the death drive. with music from caroline polacheck as a treat.

"On the stage of the main screen, your chosen shell cycles through poses, preening before the one-way glass that separates it from you. You cannot stay here forever, held in the virtual arms of your remote handlers, who croon motivational lullabies into your sleeping mind."

This week on the site, @youmeyou.bsky.social on Marathon. bulletpointsmonthly.com/2026/04/15/d...

"Marathon isn’t just a game; it feels like bootcamp for a future that’s already here."

“I don't think Bungie has made a satire but something colder and starker, a reflection of this moment rather than a value judgement on it—a statement of being.“

Thrilled to kick off a stacked @bpmonthly.bsky.social issue on Marathon. I wrote about the resonance of Runners, live-service players, and SteamDB numbers.

We're all just grist for the mill, troops summoned to deliver the aims of the corporation.

On a new Gone Shootin,' @edwardsmithwriter.bsky.social, @youmeyou.bsky.social, and @reidmccarter.bsky.social discuss pressing topics like: tubular bells, Beatles versus Baha Men, Full Metal Ninja Turtles, our low rent GDC talk, and realistic space marines. soundcloud.com/bullet-point...

I’ve killed Runners I’ve killed Runners I feel like I don’t possess anything, right from the most superficial and trivial material objects that one might possibly possess, up to abstract and unquantifiable ‘possessions’...

Here is the current @bpmonthly.bsky.social Marathon lineup. Astrid left, Yussef right, me centre.

If you see this trio out in the Dire Marsh, you'd better drop all your blue guns and start headin' for the exfil, baby.

I started up the current @bpmonthly.bsky.social issue with an article about Pathologic 3, dirt, blood, and spirituality: bulletpointsmonthly.com/2026/03/11/s...
